Hospitals and Urbanism in Rome, 1200-1500
丛编：
著者：
In Hospitals and Urbanism in Rome 1200 – 1500, Carla Keyvanian offers a new interpretation of the urban development of Rome during three seminal centuries by focusing on the construction of public hospitals. These monumental charitable institutions were urban expressions of sovereignty. Keyvanian traces the political reasons for their emergence and their architectural type in Europe around 1200. In Rome, hospitals ballasted the corporate image of social elites, aided in settling and garrisoning vital sectors and were the hubs around which strategies aimed at territorial control revolved. When the strategies faltered, the institutions were rapidly abandoned. Hospitals in areas of enduring significance instead still function, bearing testimony to the influence of late medieval urban interventions on modern Rome.
Carla Keyvanian, Ph.D., MIT, is Associate Professor of Architectural History at Auburn University. She has published articles on Roman urbanism and the representation of cities as well as on the historiography of architectural and urban history.
“readable and detailed […] the author convincingly ties the architectural history of hospitals to power and to urban planning and development in high and late medieval Rome.”
